And then some but once you start cutting with, doubt you'll get rid of it. Two pull cold start, 1/4 pull hot starts, it'll make you think long and hard on getting rid of it.

Come to think of it, I gave a little bit more than that out the door but got a free case.

Well ya get the saw going?

Steve Sidwell, Samsung On5 using Tapatalk

I haven't done anything else with it yet. The next step is to check for impulse.

I've been trying to resist the Echo temptation, there is a CS-590 for sale NIB for $200 near me. It's taking all of my restraint not to buy it

My cs400 was $300 plus tax. Best get that saw.

Naa, I'm sure Lonestar will agree with me that the ms261 is impossible to beat.

No I haven't. Home Depot echo stuff around here at that. Got to get up into the cities around here to see them. Pretty well all Stihl in my area, although I am tempted to look into one of their multi attachment systems for my next trimmer.

Had looked at one of those but didn't like the carb they had on those, ended up getting a Husqvarna instead.

I haven't run the ms261 but I have run a cs-590 and my ms361, and my ms361 will destroy the cs590.

I will admit the cs590 is a great saw for the price...as far as I'm concerned for the price it can't be beat from the dealers. Especially during the echo dealer days or whatever at %40 off.

That's one of the few new echos I would own. But I love my ms361.

I notice last night when I was on Echos web site that the cs400 now has a plastic top handle, I guess following the other big two. Glad mine is metal.

Never realized how loud it was til I turned my radio off on my ear muffs and took them off, no wonder my dad was cutting way down below me. [emoji38]

I will be trying out a MS261 if my parts will ever come in. I ordered them July 5th and they are still on backorder. [emoji51]

Crank bearings, and a gasket set. It can be yours after it's done if you have the money, lol.
